Mossy Rock Cabin

I really enjoyed our stay at Mossy Rock. A true Hornby abode! Rustic yet comfortable and very charming. The simple kitchen was enough for our needs, the beds were comfortable, and I was impressed with the clean composting toilet. We loved being so close to the sea (beautiful sunsets) and nice to have so many crisscrossing quiet roads to walk our dog along. A great summer pad.

Mossy Rock

Comfy bed.
Everything in the cabin worked. 
Spacious for the two of us.
Loved showering outside.
Quiet.
Close to Grassy Point and the market.

We usually camp on our vacation, but this year we decided to book Mossy Rock cabin for ourselves and our adult children. It was a perfect home base for our Hornby adventures, including watching the sunset at Grassy Point which is only a few minutes walk away.

We had rain during our stay, so we were happy we had made the decision to stay in the cozy cabin, The beds were comfy, the outhouse clean, and the kitchen well supplied with cookware. Thanks to Ray and Angela for being so helpful and prompt in answering questions. 

Lovely stay at Mossy Rock

We spent two nights at Mossy Rock in June and it was a perfect spot for visit Hornby with my two young children. The neighbourhood was quiet yet the cabin was located walking distance from Grassy Point where there were tons of spider crabs to look at every morning. 
The cabin was great in that the bunk beds were comfortable. The kids enjoyed the outdoor shower :) 
Wine and waves contact - Ray - was super helpful during the stay. 

Thank you so much


June Stay at Mossy Rock

I have been coming to Hornby Island off and on for 20 years now and have stayed at campground and a house near the beach. This was a new experience. However this little cabin provided a nostalgic experience back to a like cabin I spent my younger years at especially with the outdoor shower. This cabin housed my fiancé, Toddler and fiancés sister quite well. The outdoor area was spacious and great for meals. My 2 year old have fun running all over the large lot. We got a laugh out of the “Hammock” schedule on the fridge as we could envision our teenagers (who didn’t make the trip) arguing over the hammock as did the owners kids. This Cabin was the perfect place for us to stay and enjoy our Hornby Vacation!
